I was so grateful it was just me in the car, and that the kids were home with their dad. I feel the same way you do when it snows and I have to drive in it. I have a physical response, and pray the whole entire time. I do really have to let go, let God, though.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576409086020993015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-91034037385843594422008-01-14T10:48:00.000-08:002008-01-14T10:48:00.000-08:00This post is what I needed it really touch me...TH...This post is what I needed it really touch me...THANK YOU for sharing!The Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600460935484403459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-84995150398719683832008-01-11T20:44:00.000-08:002008-01-11T20:44:00.000-08:00I LOVE that God doesn't keep an account of time! t...I LOVE that God doesn't keep an account of time! totally profound Love it love it!Lala's worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888227099123265114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-53086770811542001732008-01-11T14:25:00.000-08:002008-01-11T14:25:00.000-08:00You have the sweetest husband.

I had an accident too, some years back and I was lucky enough not be injuried physically. But, like you, my emotions were very affected by what happened. Thank God I was able to move into the next lane and there was no oncoming traffic at the time because I was hit by a tractor trailer from behind, and I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't been able to into that lane. But for years afterwards, I would feel insides twist in knots whenever a large truck was behind me. I am so glad to hear that you are getting over your fear and most of all, that you and your family were not seriously hurt. Have a wonderful weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-73992179784086274342008-01-10T21:02:00.000-08:002008-01-10T21:02:00.000-08:00I hate driving in the snow also - and my husband i...I hate driving in the snow also - and my husband is so good to take time off from work when we need to travel to a ball game or something in the winter months.Knit-Withttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447432036726317278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-90386436946854471802008-01-10T20:33:00.000-08:002008-01-10T20:33:00.000-08:00Fear does alot of damage to ppl...fear is the root...Fear does alot of damage to ppl...fear is the root cause of anger, blame, insecurity, misunderstandings etc etc.<BR/><BR/>Keshi.Keshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147250771662427208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-75466216368110943832008-01-10T17:16:00.000-08:002008-01-10T17:16:00.000-08:00I put up another picture that I forgot, if you hav...I put up another picture that I forgot, if you have a chance to come back over.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938607712512860569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-86157590474383077492008-01-10T13:52:00.000-08:002008-01-10T13:52:00.000-08:00This can apply to so much more than snow, and I kn...This can apply to so much more than snow, and I know you know that.

I remember talking to my favourite priest about longing that my Dad was more present for me growing up and in that moment. The priest looked at me puzzled and said "your Father is always with you, right here in your heart, God is your father the one that never leaves, never fails and always loves" It gave me such peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-42639821574878528512008-01-09T09:48:00.000-08:002008-01-09T09:48:00.000-08:00Are you kidding, I got the best part of the deal. ...Are you kidding, I got the best part of the deal.
